I'm a lifelong filmmaker with over 15 years experience as an editor and videographer after graduating from The University of Texas film school. Since before I can remember I have been enamored with the art of storytelling in its many tantalizing forms. What began as joke telling on playgrounds became acting in theater, short story writing and illustrations, animation, then finally cameras and film. From being born in Stockholm, Sweden to growing up in London, Paris, Washington D.C. and Austin, Texas films were my constant. I attended film school at the University of Texas where I wrote and directed my first feature film senior year. After graduation I worked in Austin for 2 years as lead editor and creative director for a video production company where I shot and edited hundreds of videos ranging from commercials to documentaries and video profiles for Olympic athletes.   I moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2009 and spent the next 8 years working with "A-list" talent on a multitude of projects ranging from award winning films, to music videos, commercials, trailers and web series. I recently moved to the east coast to develop my 2nd feature film "Mangoland" to be shot in West Africa. Whether I'm working on a feature film, music video or commercial, my focus is always set squarely on enlightening, love infused, resonant and engaging storytelling.

I come from the humble midwest, finding myself in the heart of New York. With a dual degree in film and human rights, my career has been a push and pull between hollywood and non-profit organizations. I've worked with a number of film production companies and their big personalities, to local grassroots organizations with more passion than pocket money. As for now, I work as an Associate Producer at a documentary production company based in Brooklyn, while out of the office I spend my time in the hunt for stories. My tastes are simple. Rather than seek the most uniquely curious odd story yet to be publicly known, I ask what questions haven't been asked, and what perspectives haven't been told. I'm fascinated by the lady in my neighborhood who teaches piano to the deaf, while I contemplate the ants running single file up a blank wall. Letting my curiosity lead me, I start with one question and end with a million more.
